I've decided to share my adventure with anyone who cares to tag along. For so long now I've talked about wanting to become an illustrator and the time has come to stop saying "I want to be" and start saying "I am". It's time to stop living in the future and begin living in the present and start being accountable for my life instead of watching it go by.

Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone, I really appreciate the encouragement.

I have finally completed my final portfolio piece. I hate to use the word "final" because it's no where near the final piece - but I wanted a minimum of 10 illustrations before I started promoting, and I have reached that goal. So here it is .... the 10'th illustration .....

There are still several small pieces that I have been working on. Hopefully I will post them this week. For now it's time to focus on the website, maybe tweaking the blog a little bit and creating a facebook for my illustrations. I also need to begin contemplating what my promotional post cards should look like. I have a lot of computer work ahead of me and already miss my paint brush, but I'm happy to begin the next step. I'll keep you all posted.

About Me

I have recently moved to Los Angeles to pursue my ambitions of becoming a Children's Book illustrator. Both my husband and I moved here to pursue our dreams. I currently work at a court reporting company. This blog is about my journey from inspecting transcripts to working from my home as a freelance illustrator.
